STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Due to a snowstorm in Thursday's forecast, the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce has postponed its annual Louis R. Miller Business Leadership Awards Breakfast until March 5.

The breakfast will still be held at 8 a.m. in the Excelsior Grand, New Dorp.

Concerns over the snowstorm expected to hit here Wednesday night and continue into Thursday prompted the Chamber to reschedule, which was announced by Chamber Communications Director Kaitlin Cangro.

The snow is scheduled to start falling between 10 p.m. Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday morning and continue through until 2 p.m. Thursday, then followed by snowfall off and on through into Friday, according to Accuweather.com.

Louis R. Miller, a businessman and community leader, was known in the borough for his contributions to small-business development.

Often using his extensive business experience to mentor others, Miller was considered a quintessential teacher in all aspects of business operations, management and entrepreneurship.

A West Brighton resident, he also was recognized as a tireless community activist, who often volunteered with and supported a wide variety of charitable, cultural and educational institutions.
